The petition is making a case for Minnesota officials to look deeper into the matter of spring sports and activities amid questions about how the COVID-19 pandemic might affect them. As of 12:45 p.m. Monday, there were about 185 signatures on the petition.

"As of right now, there's absolutely nothing to look forward to for the youth," the petition reads. "But signing this petition could help change that."

As of now, the Minnesota State High School League has announced there will be no practices, tryouts, games, scrimmages or any type of activity for spring teams until at least Monday, May 4. That day is when the governor's shelter-in-place and school closure orders are scheduled to expire.
